Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Byron Buxton. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Buxton #114 and Antonacci #115, and the expert consensus agrees (#82 and #114). The community leans Buxton, FRV 60.4 to 45.6. For 2027 redraft, the consensus has Buxton ahead, #129 to #154, but Frank's 2027 projection has Antonacci ahead ($17.6 to $9.0).
JD on Sam Antonacci (Jun 29, 2026): I have been incredibly impressed with Antonacci this year and I think he is going to be very valuable for the White Sox going forward. It's very impressive that he has such a good xwOBA (.373) even though he really doesn't hit the ball hard (87.8 EV). Also this is embarrassing for me but I didn't even realize the White Sox were in first place at the end of the season. I typically don't even start checking the standings until after the All-Star break because it's such a long season but I had been thinking this was the 2025 White Sox rather than the 2026 White Sox. Shame on me I guess, because they Sox have sneakily put together a good roster.
